In the beginning God created heaven and the earth, that’s what it says in genesis chapter one. But what about before that? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God is eternal and he has no beginning, this is among other things what differentiates him from his creation. Imagine someone that has always existed and has no beginning isn’t this strange and difficult to comprehend. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
It is like the universe, you think about it and understand that if it is eternal or if it because of that has no end it just goes on and on and there is just no end you think if there where and end somewhere what is behind that end.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These things cause our heads to spin does it not? <\/p>\n\n\n\n
So we just have to accept it that God has no beginning and no end also it is the same with the universe even though we can not comprehend it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
God has also put eternity in mans hearts even though they can not grasp it fully. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Ecclesiastes 3:11<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n New King James Version<\/a><\/strong> Because God is almighty and all together complete and happy in himself in need of nothing outside of himself we can conclude that during eternity back he was the happy God even though he was alone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n One day God decided that he wanted to create another spiritual creature like himself with free will and also reason gifted. He created Jesus as the first spiritual creature and God must have known since he is almighty and knows all things that as soon he created another reason gifted creature someone could question his character and his way and right to rule the universe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n So probably he knew that it was just a question of time before anyone would do this and when He arranged for the test for Adam and Eve he already saw Satan rebel in his heart. So we can conclude that our heavenly Father arranged for the question to be answered for the benefit the whole universe both angels and humans. (Ezekiel 28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n It is obvious that if we appreciate the free will to choose if we want to serve God out of love for him we have to understand that the 6000 years of experience with Satan’s rule how terrible it might have been and are, it is something that will be highly appreciated by the creatures in the universe for the whole eternity in the future<\/p>\n\n\n\n This is why we think that God wanted a very long time to bond with his dear son Jesus so that he will be trustworthy in dealing with this question. Jesus spoke so many times about his heavenly fathers love for him and for us and that shows that he had a very deep appreciation of the heavenly fathers character. <\/p>\n\n\n\n Maybe Jesus was created for billions of years ago as the first spiritual creature with free will and ability to meditate about right and wrong God created. Probably Jesus spent billions of year together with the heavenly Father so he knows him better than anyone (proverbs 8).<\/p>\n\n\n\n The LORD possessed me in the beginning of his way, before his works of old.I was set up from everlasting, from the beginning, or ever the earth was.When there were<\/em> no depths, I was brought forth; when there were<\/em> no fountains abounding with water.Before the mountains were settled, before the hills was I brought forth:While as yet he had not made the earth, nor the fields, nor the highest part of the dust of the world.When he prepared the heavens, I was<\/em> there: when he set a compass upon the face of the depth:When he established the clouds above: when he strengthened the fountains of the deep:When he gave to the sea his decree, that the waters should not pass his commandment: when he appointed the foundations of the earth:Then I was by him, as<\/em> one brought up with him<\/em>: and I was daily his<\/em> delight, rejoicing always before him;Rejoicing in the habitable part of his earth; and my delights were<\/em> with the sons of men.<\/p>\n\n\n\n This proofs that Jesus was created before the earth was prepared for Adam and Eve<\/p>\n\n\n\n Song of solomon 8;6,7<\/p>\n\n\n\n Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is<\/em> strong as death; jealousy is<\/em> cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are<\/em> coals of fire, which hath<\/em> a most vehement flame.Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.<\/p>\n\n\n\n —<\/p>\n\n\n\n Everlasting God \u2013 Encountering Eternity<\/strong> Everlasting God \u2013 Immeasurable Giving<\/strong> Everlasting God \u2013 God\u2019s Greatest Gift to Mankind<\/strong> There is but one God, one Everlasting God.

He has made everything beautiful in its time. Also He has put eternity in their hearts, except that no one can find out the work that God does from beginning to end.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n
Genesis to Revelation records man\u2019s relationship with the Everlasting God. Kings and prophets, tax collectors and persecutors, a young shepherd boy and an exiled old man — each life was impacted for eternity. Expressions of praise and worship reveal their encounters with the Everlasting God of all creation:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The human mind attempts to comprehend an Everlasting God who would be governed by present time that extends in two directions (past and future). Time, however, is restricted in duration, measured by processes of thoughts or motions. Eternity cannot be measured, yet the Everlasting God inhabits eternity, continually fulfilling His Word. Just as eternity is the unchanging present, without beginning or end, God also transcends time. As such, He gives to man without measure, holding back nothing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Book of John illustrates how a relationship with an Everlasting God is forever guaranteed. This was God\u2019s purpose for sending His Son, Jesus Christ. Jesus\u2019 very own words affirm:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
